Peasant-style chicken with apple is a dish that combines traditional flavors and fruity touches to create a comforting and delicious culinary experience. This dish has its roots in the rural areas of Mexico, where fresh and accessible ingredients were the basis of daily cooking. The recipe reflects the fusion of indigenous techniques with Spanish influences, especially in the use of spices like curry, which, although originally from India, has been adapted in many Latin American cuisines to give a special twist to preparations.
In other Latin American countries, this dish can be found with similar names or variations, such as "Pollo campesino" in Colombia or "Chicken with apple and curry" in some regions of Central America. The inclusion of the apple gives it a sweet touch that perfectly contrasts and complements the spicy flavor of the curry and the soft texture of the chicken.
